Dealer Trunk Nameplates and License Frames
Post up your trunk decal, metal tag or license frame if your car has them. Keep it to your vehicle for the first week or so then kick into the collections.
I'll kick it off.

I have no tag on my car, but it's been more than a week, so here's part of my collection:
Oldsmobile (or Olds plus another brand). I know the Royal and the Philanz were Olds dealers. I think Royal might be a chain, and I know they still exist in at least Charleston, West Virginia as a Subaru/Jeep dealer. Philanz closed when Oldsmobile folded. My father bought about a half-dozen Oldsmobiles from them over the course of his life.
The Bullard is missing the top of one of the L's.
Buick-Pontiac-Cadillac. Crestmont is a Caddy dealer in, I think, Cleveland.
Chrysler
Chevy
Ford. Yes, I know, I have Mike Bass twice. Vanderstyne Ford was in Rochester, New York. I presume this is from them as they are now a Toyota dealer, and the Ford dealership was taken over by Van Bortel.
Foreign makes
I have a whole bunch of these that are only the name of the dealer or the dealer's name plus city, but none have the car make or makes on them. I have to do some research to figure out what brand of car they go with.

Spotted on a 1950 88 at the Mid-Ohio Chapter Oldsmobile show in 2009.
The owner of the car had the original dealer invoice as well. The original purchaser traded in a '41 Olds Sedan and got $500 for it.

The wag built in Lansing but sold.in Pueblo CO
Rallye is supposed to be an East Texas car but have not been able to nail down specifics. No emblem screw holes in deck lid so far but was repainted once 30 plus years ago-ish. This Kilgore emblem was with extra parts but I assume from a parts car.
